Digital Athlete Uses Taboola Smart Bidding Tools to Increase Performance Results

Digital Athlete Uses Taboola Smart Bidding Tools to Increase Performance Results

Digital Athlete was tasked with helping an advertiser drive conversions for a specific product. The product was Loofen — a state-of-the-art trash can that uses technology to help reduce food waste and smells in the kitchen. Digital Athlete didn’t just want to drum up engagement for the product, however. Their goal was to drive conversions in the form of completed orders.

Taboola, a global leader in powering recommendations for the open web, had the tools to help Digital Athlete deliver this performance within their budget.

Most notably, Digital Athlete implemented Taboola’s new automated bidding technology: Maximize Conversions with Target CPA. Maximize Conversions helps advertisers save time on manual bidding by automatically optimizing bids to generate performance results. Early adopters are already seeing up to 50% boost in conversions with this new solution.

Digital Athlete opted to use Maximize Conversions with the Target CPA option. Meaning, all they had to do was specify their desired CPA goal, and Taboola’s AI-based algorithm would do the rest — automating their bids to drive as many conversions as possible without exceeding their target CPA cap.

Taboola’s Maximize Conversions Drives 27% Lower CPA Than Competitor Average

With Taboola’s Maximize Conversions enabled, Digital Athlete drove a 12% lower CPA than their target goal. In fact, Taboola’s campaign CPA was 27% lower than the average of competitor platforms.

Customer spend also increased by an astounding 348% with Maximize Conversions — allowing Loofen to finally achieve their goal of over 1 million yen spent per day.

After the success of this campaign, Taboola and Digital Athlete now plan to hold a Taboola Pro demonstration to help the agency’s experts better understand the platform’s capabilities and learn how to make the most of their Taboola campaigns.

And Taboola and Digital Athlete will hold a seminar next year after inviting some advertisers.
